In [[2030]], Housatonic had a population of 56,965. The population skews younger, with Housatonic enjoying strong population growth in the last two decades fueled by healthcare and dietary improvements introduced through foreign investment. In terms of educational attainment, Housatonic has significant age-based inequalities; Housatoners who went to primary school during or after the [[2020]]s have higher levels of educational attainment and generally perform much better on standardized testing than older generations. The influx of Occidental funding for Housatonish schools is largely responsible for this problem, and a disproportionate number of older Housatoners are in remedial or degree programs relative to other countries in Crona with a similar HDI and GDPPC. Health demography in Housatonic is considered to be fair. Most Housatoners are very healthy due to their walking-oriented lifestyles and ready access to healthy food, but availability of preventative care in the country lags far behind Occidental countries. The healthcare system in Housatonic has demonstrated significant improvement since [[2015]] but many upper class Housatoners prefer to travel to [[New Harren]] or even [[Urcea]] for more complicated medical procedures. | |||
Housatoners are the primary speakers of the Housatonish language, whose wide use led to it being considered the {{wp|lingua franca}} of the northernmost parts of the former [[Northern Confederation]]. Housatonish is spoken by both mainland Housatoners as well as Unnuaqers. It is spoken primarily in the [[Unnuaq Mission State]] as well. It is similar to the Algosh language but not descended from it, and most scholars believe they instead share a common ancestor. Housatonish is spoken by virtually the entire population of the Housatonic Republic, with [[Julian Ænglish]] used sparingly in diplomatic and business contexts as the new lingua franca of the [[NSTA]]sphere. | Housatoners are the primary speakers of the Housatonish language, whose wide use led to it being considered the {{wp|lingua franca}} of the northernmost parts of the former [[Northern Confederation]].
